Population Movements and the Third World Summary
|
Population Movements and the Third World presents an accessible and comprehensive introduction to a wide range of forms of population movement in the Third World, particularly rural-urban migration. These are examined in the context of the process of development. The association between migration and development is two-way: migration is argued largely to be a consequence of the unevenness of the development process and the inequalities which have resulted, whilst at the same time migration also has a powerful influence on the pattern and process of development in Third World countries. The author explores in both a conceptual and factual way some of the main forms of population movement in the Third World today. He then examines the causes and consequences of migration, and assesses some of the planning and policy implications of current characteristics of migration in the Third World. |

| This highlights the complex relationship between migration and development by examining the concepts and facts behind the main forms of movement. The resultant implications for planners and policy-makers are then discussed. |
